This past Saturday, my family had the time! The best part was that it was free!! We went to the North Carolina Transporation Museum in Spencer, NC. It really is an amazing place. There are full size train cars, old cars, wagons, planes and all sorts of things to see. You can pay $1 and ride on the turntable at the Roundhouse. If you are close to Spencer or are passing through, I would strongly recommend it. Here is a link to their site. We had a blast! My daughters loved it!
